How to ice fish small ponds with bass, pickeral, and bluegill?

I would use a tip up with large minnows for the pickeral and bass. Try using wax worms for the gills. In many states you can use more than one line. Try both setups and see how it goes.

    Are you using these fish as bait? That is what it appears to mean.
    You actually want to know what baits you need to use right?

    Cut a hole. Try some minnows and wax worms on small jigs. Try a tip up with a larger shiner or sucker. Try different depths till you locate fish. I would start with a medium depth and go from there.

    I went ice fishing this afternoon. I used small wax worms. It was a small pond. My daughters and I caught a few bluegill. They had fun but it was freezing!
